Hi all. Hello to all the newcomers, I will get to know you in time.
Hello also to my friends that know me here, it's great to be back!
It's been a wild ride for the last month, great times! We got married (myself and Julie), seen just about every Buddah in Bangkok and had a ride in a 'Tuk tuk' (suicidal 3 wheel taxi), stood on an active volcano (www.whiteisland.co.nz), Seen a huge pod of dolphins swimming close up. Visited Milford Sound and were in Christchurch NZ for the new year. Then on to Fiji, nice place but we fell for a tourist scam that we both knew about anyway.... S*** happens!
Wedding was on Wainui beach in a town called Gisborne on the east coast of NZ. Called onto the beach by a Maori leader blowing on a conch horn and his daughter singing a welcome song at sunrise (far too F##*ing early me thinks!) As is traditional, Julie was late!
Hope all of you had a great Christmas and a very sincere best wishes to you all for 2006.
Thank you all for being here.
Bye for now.
Chris

Hey Chris, Welcome back and congratulations on the marriage. What a wedding, early morning , good way to start a day.
Thanks for the site, great pictures. Since I'm stuck in the flatlands it's great to see where you all have been.Please get to sharing that experience, strength and hope with us again soon.
I am one of the new guys you write about. You seem happy with yourself, your wife (Congrats! what a place to get married!) and your life! Someone that can paint his hair in that color must be a happy man (Oh, and my wife is always late too)
